PECCAVI The Latin word is scrawled in blood at
the scene of a young woman’s brutal murder: I HAVE SINNED.
It’s a chilling Christmas greeting for Boston medical
examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli, who
swiftly link the victim to controversial celebrity
psychiatrist Joyce O’Donnell–Jane’s professional nemesis
and member of a sinister cabal called the Mephisto
Club.
On top of Beacon Hill, the club’s acolytes
devote themselves to the analysis of evil: Can it be
explained by science? Does it have a physical presence? Do
demons walk the earth? Drawing on a wealth of dark
historical data and mysterious religious symbolism, the
Mephisto scholars aim to prove a startling theory: that
Satan himself exists among us.
With the grisly
appearance of a corpse on their doorstep, it’s clear that
someone–or something–is indeed prowling the city. The
members of the club begin to fear the very subject of
their study. Could this maniacal killer be one of their
own–or have they inadvertently summoned an evil entity
from the darkness?
Delving deep into the most
baffling and unusual case of their careers, Maura and Jane
embark on a terrifying journey to the very heart of evil,
where they encounter a malevolent foe more dangerous than
any they have ever faced . . . one whose work is only just
beginning.
